2025 was the year India saw the rise of quick commerce, when both startups and conglomerates raced to deliver anything to Indian consumers in minutes.
As a result, Indians can now access everything from a toothbrush and a PS5 to even household help within minutes. This convenience has fuelled rapid growth in the sector, with its overall value pegged at $6 Bn in 2025 and projected to surge to $40 Bn by 2030, according to Inc42 data.
Now, adding to the millions raised by such startups last year, Bengaluru-based beauty services startup Dazzl has bagged $3.2 Mn (about INR 29 Cr) in a seed funding round led by Stellaris Venture Partners.
The round also saw participation from angel investors including Ritesh Agarwal, Maninder Gulati, Abhinav Sinha, Sameer Brij Verma and Abhishek Bansal.
Founded by ex-Nexus Venture Partners’ VP Komal Solanki and ex-OYO executive Ashish Bajpai, Dazzl offers on-demand beauty and wellness services at home. The startup focuses on quick, beauty services such as blow-dries, head massages and pedicures, with professionals reaching customers within 10 minutes.
Dazzl plans to use the fresh capital to pilot its services across select micro-markets in Bengaluru, build repeatable local operations, and invest in tech and training systems.
Pertinent to note that the startup Dazzl launched operations last month and is currently live in one micro-market in Bengaluru, starting with Bellandur. The startup plans to expand into nearby micro-markets within the city over the coming months, depending on consumer demand and density.
Unlike appointment-based beauty platforms, Dazzl is targeting frequent and last-minute use cases. It operates a supply-led model, where it controls hiring, training and operations to ensure service consistency.
The startup says early customer feedback has been strong, especially from users looking to fit short self-care services into unpredictable schedules, such as working professionals and young parents.
The startup takes on the likes of recently listed Urban Company and Yes Madam. Its largest competitor, Urban Company, holds a significant position in the evolving quick-househelp market and has raised more than $550.5 Mn in private funding along with an INR 1,900 Cr IPO.
Meanwhile, Yes Madam has raised a much smaller amount of external capital, securing around INR 1.5 Cr in early-stage funding from investors during its appearance on Shark Tank India.
